No, I said that there was no way to get the kernel to add to the
badblocks list automatically. You have to do it from user space:
e2fsck has options to add specific blocks to the bad block list, or
to do a surface scan and add any bad blocks it finds. It can even
relocate critical fs structures like bitmaps around any bad blocks
it finds.
